What I find funniest, though, is that nowhere else in North America or Europe or any of the "developped nations" do we hear any debate about religion in government. I never heard about evolution vs creationism in Sweden, or taking God out of a pledge (since no other country has a pledge that school kids have to recite every morning, something like brainwashing to me), or taking God off the currency in Germany.

Hurray for the US! Leading the way in debates that were over in other nations about 100 years ago!
